Secondary battery
Abstract
Provided is a secondary battery, which has increased reliability by providing a stable connection structure of a temperature sensitive element. The secondary battery includes an electrode assembly formed by winding a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator and including a pair of lead tabs drawn from the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, a pouch sealing the electrode assembly and including a terrace portion exposing the lead tabs to the outside, a temperature sensitive element formed in the terrace portion and electrically connected to the lead tabs, and a movement preventing tape formed in the terrace portion to cover the temperature sensitive element.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A secondary battery comprising:
an electrode assembly formed by winding a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator and including a pair of lead tabs drawn from the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate; a pouch sealing the electrode assembly and including a terrace portion exposing the lead tabs to the outside; a temperature sensitive element formed in the terrace portion and electrically connected to the lead tabs; and a movement preventing tape formed in the terrace portion to cover the temperature sensitive element.
2 . The secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the movement preventing tape is formed to cover the lead tabs adjacent thereto together with the temperature sensitive element.
3 . The secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the movement preventing tape extends to cover at least a portion of a top portion of the terrace portion.
4 . The secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein one end of the temperature sensitive element is coupled to one of the lead tabs and the other end of the temperature sensitive element is coupled to a connection tab.
5 . The secondary battery of claim 4 , wherein the movement preventing tape is formed to cover the lead tabs and the connection tab together with the temperature sensitive element.
6 . The secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the movement preventing tape is made of a flame retardant material.
7 . The secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the movement preventing tape includes a Nomex™ brand tape.
8 . The secondary battery of claim 1 , further comprising a shock absorbing tape formed on the movement preventing tape.
9 . The secondary battery of claim 8 , wherein the shock absorbing tape is formed to cover the temperature sensitive element.
10 . The secondary battery of claim 8 , wherein the shock absorbing tape is formed between an external protective circuit module and the temperature sensitive element.
11 . The secondary battery of claim 8 , wherein the shock absorbing tape is made of a flame retardant material.
12 . The secondary battery of claim 8 , wherein the shock absorbing tape includes a Poron™ brand tape.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
